A close look at how admission offices are considering the information you submit. A plan for organizing your admission information (and junior and senior year!)

12 Accepted by more than 600 colleges You complete one application and send it to multiple schools. Accepted by 33 colleges You complete one application and send it to multiple schools. Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success College specific applications Accepted by over 80 colleges You complete one application and send it to multiple schools. Some colleges only accept their own applications

13 What do highly selective colleges look for how do we make decisions? It s Personal It serves the college

14 Factors in admission Academic Record SAT or ACT Essays Letters of recommendation Extracurricular Activities More factors: Interview Institutional priorities Demonstrated interest Artistic supplement

15 In individuals Sense of Engagement Talent & abilities Impact Creativity Healthy Ambition, Openness In a class A balance of interests, talents, backgrounds, values, and experiences

16 Have you made a meaningful commitmen to things that matter to you and to us? Have you had an impact in something that matters? How have you played the hand you ve been dealt? How have you responded to challenges? How have you responded to opportunities? What will you bring to the university community? What will you gain from your presence on campus?

17 Faculty Distribution among disciplines Coaches Alumni Arts All the considerations of diversity The future Early Applications
